Mini ITX Build Check

Is my list fully compatible?

Goal: Small form factor PC with lightning fast processing for non gaming use. Mainly photo work with adobe photoshop and lightroom, multitasking, and some video editing.

Reasoning for M.2 ssd: Faster than 850 evo 500gb, but at the same price and smaller/no cables.

Something to Note: I don't know if the SuperNove 550 G2 is overkill or not for my build without a gpu, but I couldn't find a fully modular psu that didn't have questionable ratings. So I paid a little more to get this.

Let me know if anything strikes a concern, or if there could be a better option for my system.

from what i can see, it all looks compatible memory will work good with motherboard, (remember your motherboard will hold up to 32GB of ram)

just as long as your 550W powersupply can handel everything sucking the power out from it,

did you also use the calculator? if not you can check everything out on here-

Yes, but I am using 2x8gb to save money, and not sure if I will even utilize the full 32gb.

Yeah 550W is more than enough. Perhaps I should go 400 or 430, but there aren't any good modular ones at that wattage from a quick search.

CPU - Look toward the newer i5-7500 Kaby Lake CPU to pair with the newer H270 (or B250) chipset.
SSD - The Intel is nice, but doubtful you won't realize its full potential (or notice it). Check out the Crucial MX300, Sandisk X400, WD Blue, or SK Hynix for good performers at a lower cost than the Intel.
PSU - Anything from XFX or Seasonic. From EVGA, look toward the GS, GQ, G2 or G3 lineup. There are others if you want to filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
